- A block of mass 4.20 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes an angle of θ = 50.0°angle with the horizontal as shown below. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.270.arrow_forwardIf the coefficient of kinetic friction, , between the block and the surface is 0.30 and the magnitude of the frictional force is 80.0 N, what is the weight of the block? ( Assume the block is on a horizontal surface)arrow_forwardWhat is the magnitude of the static friction force required to keep a 2.00 kg block resting on an inclined plane at an angle 25 degrees? If the angle was increased, such that the incline plane was steeper, would the magnitude of the static friction force required to hold the block at rest increase, decrease, or stay the same?arrow_forward
- A worker pulls a 15-kg crate in a straight line on a level surface by imparting a horizontal tension of 80 N to the free end of a cable whose other end is attached to the crate. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.40, what is the acceleration of the crate?arrow_forwardA block of weight W=100 is on a rough plane inclined at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. The magnitude of the normal force N1 and the friction F1 when the block is in equilibrium. If the plane was frictionless, find the magnitude of the horizontal force F1, required to keep the block in equilibrium.arrow_forwardA tool box of weighing 50.0 N rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.40, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. If no horizontal force is applied to the box and the box is at rest, how large is the friction force exerted on the box?arrow_forward
- When a surface is horizontal and only gravity acts on an object, the normal force exerted by the surface is equal to ___________________________. On an inclined surface, when is the normal force equal to zero? ______________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________arrow_forwardA 26.8 kg box sits on a ramp at an angle of 13° above the horizontal. If the coefficient of static friction between the box on the ramp is 0.215, what minimum applied force is required to keep the box at rest?arrow_forwardYou are holding a book of mass 10.7 kg that is initially at rest against a vertical wall by exerting a force of magnitudeF Yb = 100.8 N at an angle of θ = 34.7 degrees, as indicated in the figure.If the coefficients of friction between the book and the wall are μs = 0.46 and μk = 0.36, find the magnitude of thefrictional force from the wall on the book.arrow_forward
- A picture frame hung against a wall is suspended by two wires attached to its upper corners. If the two wires make the same angle with the vertical, what must this angle be if the tension in each wire is equal to 0.75 of the weight of the frame?arrow_forwardTwo blocks A and B are connected by a horizontal bar whose mass is negligible. The mass of block A is 100-kg and the mass of block B is 50-kg. What force P will just prevent the blocks from slipping down the plane?The coefficient of friction between block A and the inclined surface is o.20, while that of block B and the inclined surface is 0.30.arrow_forwardWhat force must be applied to push a carton weighing 260 N up a 18 degree incline, if the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.41? Assume the force is applied parallel to the incline and the velocity is constant. (Enter the magnitude of the force.)arrow_forward
